The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

The Mystic Krewe of Satyricon hosts the opening night of FourFront Productions’ The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. In this Tony Award-winning new musical comedy, six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. “Can you spell i-r-r-e-s-i-s-t-i-b-l-e? ‘Spelling Bee’ is riotously funny and remarkably ingenious. Gold stars all around,” says the New York Times.

Bless Ya, Boys!

The Mystic Krewe of Satyricon will present the opening night of Shine Productions’ Bless Ya, Boys: A History of the Black and Gold on Thursday, October 15. Here’s summary from the Times-Picayune‘s Angus Lind:

…overs 40 years in 90 minutes, moving faster than many New Orleans Saints players ever did and running through lines with more punch than the team had during much of its history. That’s ‘Bless Ya, Boys,’ a loving, irreverent broken-field run down the black-and-gold memory lane.* – Angus Lind

Andrea Marcovicci: Marcovicci Sings Movies II

“…seven decades of songs from the movies….Through these songs, Marcovicci expresses her reverence for a supremely elegant brand of songwriting that may seem nostalgic in today’s hip-hop world but that still endears itself to many listeners…Though all of the music proved quite familiar, the honeyed vocal tone Marcovicci brought to “Charade,” the unusual phrases she finessed in “Days of Wine and Roses” and the heartbreak she conveyed in “Call Me Irresponsible” attested to the enduring communicative power of Hollywood’s best songs.”
